agendum 3. "Task Force Checkins" taken up [from janina]
16:14:38 [Gottfried]
Michael: Rosson did not reply yet. I told Chris about it.
16:15:15 [Gottfried]
Janina: New co-facilitator for CSS tf - Ian Pouncey from Paciello Group.
16:15:24 [Gottfried]
... Trying to get the co-chairs together.
16:15:57 [Gottfried]
Michael: No progress on coga gap analysis.
16:16:15 [Gottfried]
Janina: I saw the tf draft for personalization.
16:16:28 [Gottfried]
Michael: I have incorporated Leoni's comments.
16:16:41 [Gottfried]
... Looks like the Wiki covers most of the issues.
16:17:03 [Gottfried]
... Issue: Connect IRC to GitHub issues. Not sure whether to use this.
16:17:12 [Gottfried]
Janina: Somewhat of interest to us.

16:18:01 [Gottfried]
Janina: Could help us to attach comments to specs.
16:19:14 [Gottfried]
Michael: Ted, you and Ian should talk without Rosson, to transfer what you are thinking. Need to get started even without Rosson.
16:19:32 [Gottfried]
Ted: Can we chat on where we like?
16:19:34 [Gottfried]
Michael: yes

agendum 4. "Push API Response https://github.com/w3c/push-api/issues/259" taken up [from janina]
16:20:41 [Gottfried]
Janina: Our comments were quickly dismissed. We did not get any notification outside GitHub tracking.
16:20:58 [Gottfried]
... We were told: You are asking for a feature from the wrong spec. The spec referenced is not a W3C spec.
16:21:23 [Gottfried]
... I have a problem with being told to go outside W3C spec to deal with our issue - no process established for this
16:21:42 [Gottfried]
... We should not just let it drop.
16:22:23 [Gottfried]
... Originally came out of payments group to push notifications on a mobile device - could do damage when in a payments transaction.
16:22:51 [Gottfried]
... One of the co-chairs of payments acknowledged this as a general problem, not just for a11y.
16:24:07 [Gottfried]
Michael: Mixed mind. I don't know about any process that prohibits us from filing comments on non-W3C technologies. But moving forward in this leaves a gap in W3C specs.
16:24:19 [Gottfried]
... Worried about W3C horizontal review mission.
16:24:39 [Gottfried]
... Not sure what to do.
16:25:13 [Gottfried]
... If we later block advancing due to this dependency - what will happen?
16:25:27 [Gottfried]
Janina: Would this be yet another APA formal objection? - Famously disruptive.
16:25:37 [Gottfried]
Michael: Makes us look like the bad guys even more.
16:25:53 [Gottfried]
... Not formally objecting when we see a problem is also not good.
16:26:08 [Gottfried]
Janina: At least we should push for an appendix.
16:26:39 [Gottfried]
Michael: They closed the issue after Leonie said it's good. But she was not talking on behalf of APA.
16:26:55 [Gottfried]
... None of us had seen Leonie's comment before they closed it.
16:27:26 [Gottfried]
... She was probably not meaning to talk on behalf of APA.
16:27:36 [Gottfried]
Janina: She might be our liaison - not sure however
16:28:05 [Gottfried]
Michael: Don't remeber if Web APIs was another group - and another liaison.
16:28:35 [Gottfried]
Ted: We are asking for the ability to set a user setting for behaviour in case of a push mechanism. Is this dependent on a personalization service?
16:28:57 [Gottfried]
Michael: Push API says how you can make things get pushed. If we talk about controlling this, they say this is notification.
16:29:13 [Gottfried]
... Arguably, you should not have something insular like this.
16:29:36 [Gottfried]
Ted: Yes, it is a matter of notification, not push. Push is a basic function. Customization should be decided at another level.
16:30:35 [Gottfried]
Janina: I am okay with the substance. We can file a comment in this direction. But W3C should have a marker in here. We need to be able to rely on this.
16:31:09 [Gottfried]
... Personalization by the app. We might even want phone calls to be paused for the payment transaction.
16:31:58 [Gottfried]
Michael: In a11y consideration section we could mention that we should be aware of the personalization aspect of notification.
16:32:25 [Gottfried]
... Or do we want to go further?
16:33:08 [Gottfried]
Janina: We should not request that W3C take over notification. But we should expect that we can express the dependency, and document our concern.
16:33:20 [Gottfried]
Janina: I am eager to take this up with the payments people.
16:34:00 [Gottfried]
Michael: They could be intending to go to CR any day.

16:35:51 [Gottfried]
Michael: No open actions on people who are here - aside from Janina and me.
16:36:22 [Gottfried]
Michael: Wide review request on TCML. We had no comments on it.
16:36:31 [Gottfried]
Janina: i can do it
16:36:50 [MichaelC]
-> https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/CSS_Fonts_Module_Level_4 CSS Fonts Module Level 4
16:37:26 [Gottfried]
This specification defines modifications to the existing CSS Fonts 3 specification along with additional experimental features.
16:37:42 [Gottfried]
Michael: Not sure if we are interested in this.
16:37:53 [Gottfried]
Janina: Could be useful for low-vision.
16:38:09 [Gottfried]
Ted: Yes, there are some interesting things in here. What does "optical resolution" mean?
16:38:37 [Gottfried]
Michael: Optical sizing. There is color fonts as well. Could create some a11y challenges. That would be covered by WCAG.
16:39:38 [Gottfried]
Janina: Should we defer this review to some other people in CSS?
16:40:00 [Gottfried]
Ted: It should definitely be reviewed. Everything looks great until someone misuses it.
16:40:11 [Gottfried]
... We should look for hidden things like fading or flashing.
16:40:35 [Gottfried]
Janina: Assign it to Ian, and have him talk to Ted. And ask a CSS expert on low vision.
16:40:55 [Gottfried]
Michael: We can just assign the issue on CSS Github.
16:42:55 [Gottfried]
... Done
16:43:15 [MichaelC]
-> https://www.w3.org/TR/motion-1/ Motion Path Module Level 1
16:43:41 [Gottfried]
Motion path allows authors to animate any graphical object along an author specified path.
16:44:02 [Gottfried]
Michael: You can define a path and have something move on the path. It can also rotate along the movement.
16:44:30 [Gottfried]
... It is an animation thing, with all of its issues.
16:45:16 [Gottfried]
Michael: I am inclined to not reviewing this.
16:45:22 [Gottfried]
Janina: Okay
